The Van's RV-9 and RV-9A are American two-seat, single-engine, low-wing homebuilt airplanes sold in kit form by Van's Aircraft of Aurora, Oregon, the RV-9 with a tailwheel and the RV-9A with a nosewheel. Unlike the earlier RVs, which were designed for light handling, aerobatics and short-field work, the RV-9 was conceived as a side-by-side touring aircraft and gives up aerobatic capability for stability and economy. It is built around a new high-aspect-ratio wing with a Roncz airfoil and has a low stall speed comparable to a Cessna 150. The nosewheel RV-9A flew first, on June 15, 2000, and was the first RV to use matched-hole components; the tailwheel version flew in 2002. As of November 2022, 1,173 RV-9s and RV-9As had been completed and flown.
